monkey heart annotated

There is this movie called "untamed heart" staring Christian Slater, Marissa Tomei, and Rosie Perez. They all worked in this diner in Minnesota and Christian Slater was this busboy type guy and the other 2 were waitresses. Christian Slater follows Marissa Tomei home and you think he's stalking her but then she's mugged and Christian Slater beats the fuck out of all these guys.

Why is he so strong and powerful? We are left to wonder. At some point we see his chest and there's this huge x shaped scar. He says he has a baboon heart but there's really nothing to substantiate that. At the end of the movie he dies after going to a hockey game and catching a hockey puck with his bare hand, but catching the puck didn't have anything to do with his death. I think they showed him grab the puck out of the air to demonstrate his enhanced monkey (baboon, whatever) reflexes. Mr. Ockers and I would refer to this movie as "Monkey Heart" and hence the song was born.


Murlot helped to write the hook, and I sang it before making any of the beat. I then converted the audio to midi and found out which notes I was singing and then wrote the beat accordingly. See, it's not cheating if you tell people about it.

Jo fixx is doing the monkey noises.
